Part 8 - Traveling Expenses
Section 8.2 - Official station defined; limitations on traveling expenses imposed thereby

(1) The official station of every employee shall be designated by the head of the agency. Such designation shall be in the best interests of the State and not for the convenience of an employee or to maximize travel expense reimbursement. Every designation of the official station of an employee shall be subject to review by the Comptroller. If any designation of an official station is found to be inconsistent with the provisions of this Part, a request for travel expense reimbursement based upon such an inconsistent designation may be disapproved by the Comptroller.

(2) No transportation costs will be allowed between any employee's place of residence and his or her official station. The place of residence is considered to be the city or town in which the employee primarily resides. Agency management retains discretion in allowing transportation costs to locations within the proximity of the official station.
